DEPARTMENT  OF  SCIENCE  AND  LETTERS, 


UXIYEItSITY  OF  THE  CITY  OF  NEW- YORK. 


Tnn  plan  of  the  University  embraces  tho  whole  cirele  of  libera] 
studies,  under  the  direction  of  three  Faculties  : 

The  Faculty  of  Science  and  Letters  ; 

Tho  Faculty  of  Medicine*  ;  and 

The  Faculty  of  Law  ; 
the  original  plan  of  the  University  having  contemplated  no  Faculty 
of  Theology. 


FACULTY  OF  SCIENCE  AND  LETTERS. 

To  this  Faculty  is  intrusted  the  conduct  of  the  Undergraduate  in- 
struction, the  objec  t  of  which  is  not  to  impart  professional  knowledge, 
nor  merely  to  communicate  spec  ial  knowledge  of  any  kind,  but  to  form 
the  well-educated  man,  without  reference  to  any  particular  destination 
in  life.  The  course  of  study,  therefore,  is  mainly  a  discipline  for 
training  and  strengthening  the  mental  powers.  At  the  same  time  the 
ornamental  and  graceful  accomplishments  of  the  mind,  and  the  sub- 

iZM   .  M

serviency  of  the  studies  to  the  practical  uses  of  life,  are  objects  which 
are  not  neglected. 

The  course  of  studies  in  the  Faculty  of  Science  and  Letters  is 
organized  in  five  departments. 

1.  Ancient  Languages  and  Literature. 

2.  Modern  Languages  and  Literature. 

3.  Mathematics  and  Natural  Philosophy. 

4r.  Chemistry,  Botany,  Geology,  Physiology,  etc. 
5.  Moral  Sciences,  etc.

ANCIENT  LANGUAGES. 

This  Department  comprises  the  Latin  and  Greek  Languages,  toge- 
ther with  the  Greek  and  Roman  History,  Geography  and  Literature. 

The  instruction  is  given  partly  by  Lectures  and  Examinations, 
and  partly  by  Comments  on  the  Text-Books  appointed  to  be  read  by 
the  Students. 

The  Books  used  and  Authors  read  in  this  Course  are  chiefly  the 
following.    In  Latin : 

Zumpt's  Grammar,  Arnold's  Prose  Composition,  Schmitz's  History 
of  Rome,  Anthon's  System  of  Ancient  and  Medieval  Geography, 
Plautus,  Terence,  Horace,  Juvenal,  Livy,  Tacitus,  and  Cicero. 

Andrew's  Latin-English  Lexicon,  and  the  English-Latin  Lexicon  of 
Riddle  and  Arnold,  are  recommended. 

In  Greek:  Kiihner's  Grammar,  Arnold's  Prose  Composition, 
Schmitz's  History  of  Greece,  Xenophon,  Homer,  Herodotus,  Thucy- 
clides,  Plato,  the  Dramatists,  and  the  Orators. 

The  Greek-English  Lexicon  of  Liddell  and  Scott,  or  of  Pickering,  is 
recommended.

MODERN  LANGUAGES. 

In  this  Department  the  subjects  taught  are : 

The  French,  Spanish,  German,  and  Italian  Languages,  and  their 
Literature. 


Each  language  is  in  charge  of  a  Professor  whose  vernacular  it  is, 
and  the  instruction  is  given  by  Lectures  an,d  Examinations,  and  by 


^  


comments  on  the  Authors  recited  by  the  Students.  Practice  in 
writing  and  speaking  the  several  languages,  forms  also  an  essential 
part  of  the  plan  of  instruction  in  this  Department. 

Instruction  in  the  Modern  Languages  is  furnished,  to  those  w  ho  de- 
sire it,  at  the  expense  of  the  Student. 


MATHEMATICS,  NATURAL  PHILOSOPHY,  AND  ASTKONOMY. 

Is  the  Department  of  pure  Mathematics  there  are  constantly  from 
two  to  three  classes.  Of  these,  the  first  class  begins  with  Loomis' 
Algebra,  which  occupies  the  principal  part,  and  sometimes  the  whole, 
of  two  terms.  To  this  succeeds  Loomis'  Geometry,  of  which  about 
five  books  are  read  during  the  remainder  of  the  first  year. 

The  second  class  completes  the  study  of  Geometry  and  the  Conic 
Sections.  To  this  succeeds  the  Nature  and  Properties  of  Logarithms, 
Plane  Trigonometry,  Mensuration  of  Surfaces  and  Solids,  Surveying, 
Navigation,  and  Spherical  Trigonometry,  which  is  followed  by  Ana- 
lytical Geometry,  and  the  first  principles  of  the  Differential  Calculus. 

Instruction  is  also  furnished  to  any  who  may  be  disposed  to  form 
a  third  class  for  the  purpose  of  pursuing  the  Differential  and  Integral 
Calculus  further  than  was  practicable  in  the  second  class. 

The  Course  of  Natural  Philosophy  begins  in  the  First  Term  with 
Mechanics,  and  includes  Statics,  Dynamics,  Hydrostatics,  and  Hydro- 
dynamics. The  Second  Term  is  occupied  with  Pneumatics,  the 
Steam-Engine,  Acoustics,  Magnetism,  and  Optics.  The  text-book 
employed  is  Olmsted's  Philosophy.  Every  part  of  this  Course  is  illus- 
trated by  experiments,  and  full  lectures  arc  given  upon  certain  topics, 
particularly  upon  arches,  bridges,  domes,  and  the  principles  of  Archi- 
tecture. 

The  Third  Term  is  occupied  with  Astronomy,  for  the  illustration 
cf  which  there  have  been  provided  numerous  drawings  upon  a  large 
scale. 


CHEMISTRY,  BOTANY,  GEOLOGY,  PHYSIOLOGY,  ETC. 

The  Course  of  Chemistry  commences  at  the  beginning  of  th< 
with  a  description  of  the  imponderable  principles,  Heat,  Light,  and 


Electricity,  those  parts  being  more  particularly  dwelt  on  which  are 
connected  with  important  practical  applications.  A  detailed  account 
is  next  given  of  all  the  elementary  and  the  more  valuable  compound 
bodies  belonging  to  the  inorganic  kingdom,  and  various  processes  of 
interest  in  the  arts  and  manufactures  allied  to  this  branch  of  the  sub- 
j  ect  are  explained.  At  a  later  period,  Organic  Chemistry  is  entered 
upon,  particular  attention  being  given  to  its  connection  with  vegetable 
and  animal  Physiology,  thus  serving  as  an  introduction  to  the 
sciences  of  Botany  and  Human  Physiology,  which  are  studied  toward 
the  close  of  the  Second  Term.  The  great  advances  which  have 
been  made  of  late  years  in  these  important  and  interesting  sciences 
are  explained. 

The  close  of  the  Course  is  occupied  with  the  science  of  Geology, 
advantage  having  been  previously  taken,  while  passing  over  Inor- 
ganic Chemistry,  of  the  opportunity  of  giving  descriptions  of  the 
more  important  minerals. 

These  subjects  are  for  the  most  part  taught  by  Lectures,  abundant- 
ly illustrated  with  experiments,  drawings,  specimens,  etc.  The  Che- 
mical apparatus  used  is  sufficient  for  the  exhibition  of  whatever  is  of 
interest.  At  stated  periods,  recitations  and  examinations  are  held, 
and  every  encouragement  is  given  to  the  Student  to  cultivate,  by 
personal  experiment  and  observation,  these  sciences  for  himself. 


Tnis  Department  embraces  an  extensive  course,  running  through 
four  years,  and  including  all  the  liberal  studies  not  comprehended 
in  the  other  Departments. 

For  some  portions  of  the  Course,  Text-Books  are  put  into  the  hands 
of  the  Students ;  in  others,  formal  Lectures  are  given,  and  careful 
note-taking  required.  Recitations  and  Examinations  are  also  had  on 
the  Text-Books  and  Lectures.  But,  in  addition  to  this,  thorough 
oral  teaching  is  mainly  relied  upon — experience  having  shown  that 
without  it,  text-books  and  formal  lectures  are  entirely  insufficient. 
The  first  year  the  studies  are  : 

Rhetoric — theoretical  and  practical,  embracing  the  principles  and 
rules  of  Language  and  Style,  with  exercises  in  English  Composition 


MOEAL  SCIENCES. 


and  Translation.  The  manual  of  "Whately  is  carefully  studied. 
Practical  and  critical  exercises  in  Recitation  and  Rhetorical  Delivery 
are  had  throughout  the  year. 

The  Historical  studies  of  the  year  embrace  Ancient  History  and 
Antiquities,  under  the  charge  of  the  Professors  of  Ancient  Lan- 
guages. 

The  second  year  the  Rhetorical  studies  are  continued  and  carried 
on  to  a  higher  degree,  including  not  only  Exercises  in  Composition 
and  Delivery,  but  also  the  principles  of  Literary  Analysis  and  Criti- 
cism, 'with  practical  exercises  in  the  same.  Particular  attention  is 
also  given  to  the  study  of  English  Literature. 

The  Historical  studies  for  this  year  embrace  the  modern  portion  of 
General  History,  together  with  the  History  of  England,  and  that  of 
the  United  States. 

The  third  year,  the  Rhetorical  studies  are  carried  on  as  in  the  pre- 
ceding year,  with  the  addition  of  a  more  thorough  application  of  the 
principles  of  Literary  Analysis  and  Criticism  to  the  master-works  in 
Literature.  Logic  is  thoroughly  studied  in  a  practical  compend,  and 
the  systems  of  Hamilton  and  Mill  arc  fully  explained. 

The  Historical  studies  arc  particularly  directed  to  the  Philoso- 
phy of  History,  including  the  History  of  European  Civilization, 
and  the  causes  and  conditions  of  social  progress.  The  science  of 
Political  Economy  receives  careful  attention,  and  is  illustrated  from 
a  variety  of  sources. 

The  fourth  year  is  devoted  to  the  Philosophical  Course,  embracing 
all  the  subjects  commonly  included  under  the  terms  Intellectual  and 
Moral  Philosophy;  with  a  special  Course  in  Political  Science,  the 
Principles  of  Government,  and  of  Natural,  International,  and  Con- 
stitutional Law.  The  Evidences  of  Revealed  Religion  and  Christian 
Ethics  complete  the  Course.

TERMS  OF  ADMISSION. 

For  admission  to  the  Freshman  Class,  an  examination  in  the  follow- 
ing or  equivalent  studies  is  required :  English  Grammar,  Geography, 
Elements  of  History,  Arithmetic  and  Algebra  through  simple  equa- 
tions, Six  Books  of  Caesar's  Commentaries,  Eight  Books  of  Virgil's 
iEneid,  Six  Orations  of  Cicero,  Sallust,  Greek  Testament,  Three  Books 
of  Xenophon's  CyropEedia,  and  Two  Books  of  Homer's  Iliad. 

Candidates  are  examined  on  Monday  and  Tuesday  before  the  Com- 
mencement, and  on  the  Tuesday  previous  to  the  third  Wednesday  of 
September.  • 

The  Annual  Commencement  takes  place  on  the  Wednesday  pre- 


ceding  the  4th  of  July ;  from  which  time  there  is  a  vacation  till  the 
third  Wednesday  of  September. 

Besides  this,  there  is  a  recess  of  one  week,  from  Christmas  till  after 
New  Year's ;  and  of  two  weeks,  commencing  on  the  first  Monday  of 
April. 


Tee  price  of  Tuition  is  eighty  dollars  per  annum,  to  students  who 
pursue  a  course  amounting  to  three  daily  recitations  or  lectures. 
Those  who  pursue  particular  branches  pay  in  proportion. 

An  additional  charge  of  ten  dollars  per  annum  is  made  for  the  inci- 
dental expenses  of  the  Institution. 

The  Tuition  and  Incidental  fees  arc  payable  in  half-yearly  advance 
payments,  namely,  on  the  1st  of  October  and  the  1st  of  February. 


The  Scriptures  are  read  and  prayer  offered  every  morning  in  the 
chapel,  when  the  Chancellor  or  one  of  the  Professors  officiates,  and 
the  students  arc  required  to  be  present. 

Students  whose  parents  reside  in  the  city,  are  supposed  to  live  in 
their  own  families  ;  for  those  who  come  from  a  distance,  boarding  may 
be  obtained  in  respectable  private  families. 

Any  student  who  shall  injure  or  deface  the  building,  in  addition  to 
such  penalties  as  the  Faculty  shall  see  fit  to  inflict,  will  be  subject  to 
the  expense  occasioned  by  the  necessary  repairs. 

Habitual  indolence  and  inattention -to  study  will  be  regarded  as  an 
offense  against  the  laws  and  the  spirit  of  the  Institution,  and  will  be 
made  the  subject  of  SU9I1  discipline  as  the  Faculty  may  deem  expe- 
dient. 

Any  student  who  frequents  billiard-rooms,  taverns,  or  other  places 
of  corrupting  injj^ence,  will  not  be  allowed  to  remain  a  member  of 
the  University. 

All  instances  of  absence  from  chapel  and  recitation,  or  tardy  attend' 
dance  upon  the  same,  unless  explained  by  a  note  from  (lie  parent  or 
guardian,  or  otherwise  satisfactorily  accounted  for  to  the  officiating

Professor,  will  be  communicated  to  the  parent  or  guardian,  and  will 
subject  to  discipline.  No  student  will  be  permitted  to  leave  the  city 
during  term-time,  unless  a  request  to  that  effect  be  made  by  his 
parent  or  guardian. 

No  meeting  of  the  students  can  be  held  in  the  University  for  the 
transaction  of  any  kind  of  business,  unless  by  permission. 

Every  student  is  free  to  attend  to  such  Departments  as  his  guardian 
may  select ;  but  in  order  to  receive  the  Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts, 
he  must  have  pursued  the  course  of  study  prescribed  in  the  Depart- 
ments of  Ancient  Languages,  Mathematics,  Natural  Philosophy,  Che- 
mistry, and  the  Moral  Sciences,  which  is  designed  to  occupy  three 
hours  a  day  for  four  years.  "When  the  student  has  completed  the  full 
course  of  instruction  in  any  Department,  he  may  receive  a  Diploma 
certifying  the  branches  of  study  pursued. 


A  premium  will  be  awarded  to  the  Student  who  passes  the  best 
examination  for  admission  to  the  Freshman  Class,  and  one  to  him  who 
passes  the  next  best  examination.  Competitors  for  the  two  premiums 
will  be  examined  on  the  first  Saturday  after  the  term  commences,  (the 
23d  September,  1854,)  and  such  examination  shall  embrace  the  studies 
required  for  admission — in  Latin,  Greek,  Arithmetic  and  Algebra, 
through  simple  equations. 

.  At  the  Commencement  of  1855,  the  following  premiums  will  be 
awarded:  In  the  Sophomore  Class,  three  prizes  of  equal  value, 
namely,  one  to  the  Student  of  highest  standing  in  Latin;  another 
to  the  same  grade  in  Greek ;  and  the  third  to  the  same  grade  in 
Mathematics:  In  the  Freshman  Class,  three  prizes  of  equal  value  for 
the  same  studies  in  said  class.  The  standing  of  candidates  for  these 
premiums  is  to  be  decided  by  the  records  of  the  daily  recitations 
throughout  the  year,  and  a  special  examination  on  the  studies  of  the 
year  at  its  close. 

At  each  Junior  Exhibition  at  the  close  of  the  Spring  Term,  orations 
will  be  assigned  to  eight  students  standing  highest  in  the  class,  and 
the  two  College  societies  shall  each  appoint  one  additional.  A  prize, 
to  be  called  "The  Webster  Prize,"  will  be  given  to  the  best  speaker 
on  the  occasion,  to  be  awarded  by  a  committee  not  connected  with 
the  University. 


HONORS  AND  PREISIUMS. 


At  each  Commencement,  the  Valedictory  Oration  is  regarded  as  the 
First  Honor  of  the  class — the  Latin  or  Greek  Salutatory  as  the  Se- 
cond— the  English  Salutatory  as  the  Third — and  the  Philosophical 
Oration  as  the  Fourth ;  while  all  orations  are  honors. 

The  "Van  Doren"  Prize  oration,  on  "the  best  mode  of  meliorating 
the  condition  of  the  heathen,"  will  be  a  separate  or  special  honor. 


SCHOLARSHIPS. 

Nearly  one  hundred  Scholarships  are  owned  by  gentlemen  who 
have  contributed  to  the  endowment  of  the  Institution,  and  these  they 
have  always  desired  to  have  occupied  by  meritorious  and  suitably 
qualified  young  men — embracing  those  who  aim  at  high  literary  cul- 
tivation, as  well  as  professional  pursuits.  The  aid  of  the  Faculty  will 
always  be  given  to  secure  the  benefit  of  these  Scholarships  to  proper 
applicants.
